I just put an old lady's maxi pad through the wash and all I can think is this is my life...

Too Much Information.

For those of you who have never been pregnant, spent a majority of time with a pregnant lady, or just lucked into being one of the few pregnant women who don't become constipated - you will not understand my excitement. To anyone else: I POOPED!

I've been adding Benefiber to my liquids (for about two weeks), I eat a serving of pro-biotic (keeps you regular) yogurt daily, and I've been drinking lots of fliuds but I've still been annoyingly (not painfully or unbareably just yet) constipated. These makes for a LOT of farting. Really nasty smelling ones at that (sorry Turkey Butt)! It also makes a hormonaly pregnant chick a little irritable and whiny. Or at least that's what happened with me. But finally today, I pooped! And now I feel so much better.

Tips for those in my situation or who may be in the future: Eat a lot of high fibre food. Stay away from cheese if you can (I couldn't). Take fibre supplements if you need to (the one I use, see above, is a powder that you miss into your drinks). Oh, and keeping you're feet up - I've begun keeping a foot stool by the toilet and the leverage really helps!

Rocco

I am 27 years old. I live in Nova Scotia (in my dream house) with my amazing husband Turkey Butt, our lovable dog, Adora and our brand new baby girl, Elodie. When I'm not on maternity leave, I work with Adults with Special Needs - and I love what I do! My friends and family play an important role in my life. I love food, hockey, reading, movies, hiking, shopping, Christmas, Halloween and so much more. I dislike tomatoes. I am madly in love with Turkey Butt and completely smitten with Little Miss Elle and THIS is my life!
